A Ghost

Line by line we drew it up

Had our fill and threw it up

Wrote the will and tore it up

And I can't even say why

All my past is shoring up

Beating on my door won't stop

Couldn't lie so I made it up

And I can't even say why

I can't even say why

And I wonder as I walk away

Did I ever love it all the way

Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it

From the end right to the start

From seeing to believing

Oh but I saw a ghost

In the mirror coming near

A little close for comfort tonight

He said, "It's easier to be alive

Than hide under your pillow

While your life is passing you by."

One by one they carry us

Break our hearts and marry us

Dig us up then bury us

And I wish I could say why

All my past is sure enough

Beating on my door has stopped

Couldn't lie so I make it up

And I don't even know why

I don't even know why

And I wonder as I walk away

Did I ever love it all the way

Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it

From the end right to the start

From seeing to believing

Oh but I saw a ghost

In the mirror coming near

A little close for comfort tonight

He said, "It's easier to be alive

Than hide under your pillow

While your life is passing you by."

So live your life

Don't waste your time

Oh live your life

Don't waste your time

I saw a ghost in the mirror coming nearer

I saw a ghost in the mirror, in the mirror

Oh I saw a ghost in the mirror coming near

A little close for comfort tonight

Ooh he said, "It's easier to be alive

Than hide under your pillow

While your life is passing you by."

So live your life
